Excerpt from The Luck of Denewood
But now the radiant lady in Sir Joshua's fa mous portrait smiled on strangers. During the long years Since it had been painted, the fortunes of the Travers family had declined, till all that remained of the great estate was the house itself and the grounds in the immediate vicinity. The town had encroached upon the broad acres, and streets divided the vast possessions that had once stretched unbroken for miles. From year to year the land had been sold, farm by farm at first, and, later, lot by lot, as the city swallowed up the village of Germantown.
